Bab 29: Chapter Twenty Nine: Eris Vs Mercenaries
All four of them look up to see two individuals standing on top of the ruined watchtower. One is a young beauty around 68 inches in height. She has pale skin, red eyes, a raven black hair that goes all the way down to her knees. She wears a beautiful red dress with accents of black that leaves the stomach exposed, and with a long bottom that trails behind her. She also wears red and black high-heel boots, with black stockings, and black gloves that go from her fingertips almost to her elbow. On her head there's a black crown, on her finger there's a ring, and on her neck there's a necklace, each with their own ruby-like crystal. Finally she carries a black sword in her hand with a guard in the shape of a pair of angel-like wings.
The other mysterious person is much larger and completely covered in golden armor, blocking his bodily features. The armor he wears resembles golden scales and his helmet looks similar to that of a fierce dragon. Each of the fingers of his gauntlets come to a blade-like point at the end, giving it the appearance of sinister-looking claws. In his right hand, he carries a large katana with a black blade, a golden guard, and a long white handle.
Eris' cold glare seems to penetrate through the three humans while they can also feel a similar oppressive force coming from the dragon knight. However, the little girl's angered expression quickly turns to that of amazement and awe as her eyes set upon Eris. The vampire jumps and floats down in front of the little girl while Hadrian jumps and lands right beside her, sending a small tremor through the ground.
"Who… who the hell are you?" the leader asks with a small drop of sweat running down the side of his face.
Eris doesn't answer them and turns towards the smaller vampire, "Are you alright?"
The little girl's smile only widens, "Yes! Thank you so much! I'm so happy that I was able to find you."
"... You were looking for me?" she asks. The little girl nods her head, "We'll talk later. Hadrian, take the little girl and watch from the tower."
"Yes, Empress," answers the knight before scooping up the girl with his free hand and jumping to the top of the broken tower.
Eris turns back towards the three men and the leader says, "I'm happy to play with you instead of the little girl, honey! Ha ha!"
"Tch! I seriously don't get humans. They are extraordinarily weak. They let their emotions guide them like animals. And they only have an average amount of intelligence. Yet, despite all these flaws, they still believe themselves greater than every other race. And specimens such as yourselves, are really no better than monsters."
"Alright. I've had enough of this disgusting creature's insults," says the blond haired man, "Rock, kill this thing!"
The man in the mask nods and steps forward. He aims the tip of his staff towards Eris, and a large ball of orange flames appears. The fireball then accelerates towards the vampire, and explodes as soon as it hits her body.
"NO!" shouts the little girl.
Hadrian places his large hand on her shoulder and says, "Don't worry. The empress will not be defeated by such weak foes, girl."
The little girl looks again as the smoke caused by the explosion starts to settle.
The leader's expression turns to that of annoyance, "Was that really necessary?"
"I told you that I want to finish the job and go home. Now let's grab the girl and get out of here."
Suddenly, a powerful force dispels the smoke and the three men turn to see Eris with her sword stretched out, with not even a scratch or burn mark, "What the?! You should be a pile of ashes right now! Vampires are weak to fire!"
"You're wrong. Vampires are weak to light and nature magic fools. However, I'm a bit special. Unless it's imbued into a weapon, there's no magic in this world that can affect me," she answers with a smile.
"That's… impossible! No one is immune to magic attacks!" says the blond nervously.
Eris thinks to herself, "In Legend Conquerors Online, there are three different types of attacks. melee, magic, and long range. And players can make it to where they're immune to one of these three types of attacks and I'm glad that I choose magic." She then says aloud, "Surrender peacefully, and I promise that your deaths will be painless."
"You cheeky little... I'm going to kill you!" shouts the blond angrily as he brandishes his spear and attacks.
The blond haired bandit rushes towards Eris with the tip of his spear aimed towards the vampire's throat. At the same time, Eris stays in her position with a smile on her face. As soon as he gets within range, he tries to run his spear into the vampire. However, he does not expect Eris to stop the weapon with her left hand, and much less with only two of her fingers. Then, Eris swiftly slashes at the spearman's neck, separating his body from his head. A fountain of blood emerges from the man's neck, but instead of splattering on the ground, the blood is collected into a ball over Eris' palm. This continues for several seconds until the spearman's body is completely dry, as if it has stayed out in the desert for several weeks.
The leader's face grimaces, "You disgusting monster!"
Eris' smile only widens as she opens her mouth and directs the blood into it. The vampire shivers in excitement as the warm blood fills her mouth and moves down her throat. She chugs it down quickly to save time, but wishes that she could've savored it more. She licks her lips, then looks at the other two thugs with her crimson eyes glowing.
"Who's next?"
The leader attacks, running towards Eris with his sword and axe raised in the air. The vampire continues to smile as the leader attacks. The man jumps and tries to bring his blades down on Eris, and the vampire reacts by reaching out and grabbing his neck. Surprised, the bald-headed leader loses his grip on his weapon and tries to pry Eris' hand off his neck, but to no avail.
"I've always wanted to try this," the vampire whispers to herself.
With her iron grip still on the man's throat, Eris angles his head to the side, opens her mouth, revealing her sharp fangs, and sinks her teeth into the man's neck. Like the man before, it only takes Eris a few moments to completely drain the warrior's body of his blood. After draining him, she tosses the man's dried up corpse to the side. His blood drips from the corners of her mouth as she smiles at the last individual standing.
